Life Class

Couple, 40-minute pose. 10" X 10", oil/gessoed BFK

There's a recently-organized life class available at the SD Art Institute (where I often show), and I finally had a chance to check it out. Here's what I did there, in reverse order--the painted sketch above was the final (and, at 40 minutes, the longest) pose of the night. Prior to that, a 20-minute pose:

Couple 2, 9" X 9", oil/BFK

I've missed working from the figure, so even these short poses were fun to do.

Here are the earlier, shorter poses, done in pencil:

^Ten minutes

^Five minutes

^Two minutes...

and to be honest, I like some of those two and five-minute drawings best of all.

I'll be traveling a lot for the rest of the month, two trips to Washington DC and lots of museum and gallery-crawling! Hopefully I'll have some new work to post in November if not sooner.
